XOOOOOOOOBODDOOOOOOKIOD Woodsville, Sept. 16.—Dearest Ger- trude: If I had lived a hundred years ago, I should at this moment. be locked in my room, white and droop- ing with despair, and in time would languish away and die of a broken heart. However, I am a twentieth century girl and will break my heart over no one. What is more, 1 won't allow it to have the least little nick. To be more explicit, Jack and I have parted forever. I don’t propose to lose my American independence for any man. If I am to be cooped up after I am married and never speak a pleasant word to any of the men I know, I won't marry, that’s all. Nat- urally T did not want Jack to think I was pining for him, so I thought T would get a new gown or two, and have just as good a time as possible. I went to father. He asked me how much money I would need, and when I told him—a very reasonable sum, I assure vou—his parental wrath was immediately kindled. Daughter Kath- ering was lectured accordingly. Among other pleasant things, he re- marked that if T saw fit to break a desirable engagement without a shag- ow of an excuse, well and good, but after this T must economize, as hLe would no longer pay such enormous bills for me. That made me pretty mad, for T have not had a new dress this month. From that moment I made up my mind that I would be independent. It is not that I mina economizing, it's the spirit of the thing. If my father considers me a tax on his purse, I will remove my- self. T have decided to be a governess. One's life must be lived through some- how. Devotedly yours. KATE. * o * Chicago, Sept. 25.—My Dear Ger- trude: You have no idea how your letter comforted and strengthened me. You see by the date that T am at Aunt Cora’s. I came here so that I might meet the woman who wishes to employ me. This morning T went downtown to interview lLer. You would hardly have known the staid, dignified individual who meekly an- swered the hundred and one ques- tions that it seemed necessary for madam to ack: Finally she announced. in a cold, bargaining tone of voice: “I think vou would suit &e. You have a pleas- ing personality and that is quite an important thing with children.” I wanted to hox her ears. Pleasing per- sonality, indeed! T suppose she thinks her lovely infants will absorb some of it! But I refrained from saying anything about my Inmost feeclings, and humbly begged leave to think it over for one night. Your affectionate friend. KATHERINE STANDISH WOLCOTT. *® * * Woodsville, Oct. 10.—Dear Old Ger- trude: I must write immediately to tell you the sequel. Thoe day after writing you, I looked pale and sub dued enough to teach 50 children, for - I wept oceans of tears that night. Just to the minute of the time I had agreed to give imy answer, there was a ring at the beil, and the maid came up to teil me that a gentleman wighed to see me. I mustered 2l my failirg courage and deseended to seal my fate. The recoption room was 80 dark that I could hardly see where the man was standing, but T beuon my little speech without trying to see him. DBefore I had scid more than “Good evering, Mr. —" he stepped quickly forward, drew te info his arms, pressed my head against his shoulder—there was something won- derfully familiar in the feel of those arms—and a voice I knew only too well, though it was husky with emo- tion, said: “Kitty, darling, how could you?” If Jack had not taken me so un- awares, 1 should have had time to collect my wandering wits and be a little child, but as it was, I simply put my a round and clung to him. sobbi if my heart were broken instead of perfectly sound and whole Jack eays they are going to have the finest cotillion of the season next of course, T pre vith him, op now, dearie, for T have an appointment at the dressmalkers. As ever, your loving KITTY P. S—O0f courge, you know you are to be my maid of honor—K. W. Chemical Rain. It has long been known that the dirty rain of every gmoky region is a disastrous thing for vegetation. It now appears probable—or at least possible—that but slightly poisonous rains, such as occur over an ordinarily smoky city, may seriously injure fruits and flowers. J. W. Harshberger, of the University of Pennsylvania, sug- gests that the spots on leaves and fruit caused by the acidity of rain- drops may serve as the points of entry of parasitic fungi. He says, “A fungus, which is stimulated to growth by an acid condition of the cell sap, would find ideal conditions for the commencenment of growth by entering areas influenced by acid raindrops.— New York Evening Post.

A well-appointed tea table with one girl to pour while the host- ess makes herself agreeable to her guests can be made very pleasant. Be sure the tea Is good, the sand- wiches novel and delicious, and the cake home-made. That is all that need be served, though extra touches, like home-made candy of unusual kind, crisp buttered toast, or salted pea- nuts are inexpensive additions. If the food is good it will apepal to pal- ates. Two quarts of ice cream will serve a dozen guests if put in small glasses. This will not be more than one dol- lar. A delicious home-made cake will cost for material 60 cents or less. For candy one could make sea foam for the cost cf two pounds of brown sugar, and four quarts of salted peanuts would be 256 cents more. Make your money go as far as you can.

Banana is the chic color of the Paris mid-season, not the tint of the skin, but of the fruit inside, not very different from the also fashionable champagne tint. A costume of ratine in the tone of the wine fastens up the left side with large buttons in an open design showing an enameled flower in blue and green inclosed in a gilt circle.

Lack of sufficient sleep soon shows in one's appearance. Eight hours’ sleep out of every 24 is required for building up the body. It is bad practice to clip the cuticle is apt to become rough and shaggy. Prepared chalk is very gpod for whitening the teeth, but if used too often will, in time. destroy the enamel. The sun is very good for the hair and, after washing, the halr should be dried in the sun, in the open alr if possible. There is nothing better than red clover tea for curing rheumatism, says a writer. Get the red clover and steep one cup with a little scullcap and drink half a glass after meals and before retirirg; also get a little pure iron tonic from your doctor to keep the blood rich. Every woman caring for the beauty of her skin should protect it from the harsh winds of the winter months, as she did during gusty March days. Chiffon is most desirable, there being no harmful dots and designs. A thin black 18 the very best selection, as it protects without impairing the sight, and comes in proper widths to cover hair as well. i | Long Gloves With Cuffs. !
